Are you flat rate or hourly? How long have you been a mechanic?
I'm a flat rate technician and I've been working at this dealership for 3 years. You might know it, Rick Case Honda I-75 and Griffin Rd. It's a pretty big dealership, we have an Express Service area with about 30 person staff, Main Shop/Warranty Area 30 person staff, Full Body shop 40 person staff, Court of Clerks (You can get married at our dealership lol), Barber Shop, Cafe, Detail Area, New/Used car sales, Car Rental (Hertz), on site Geico, Gas Station
Here's a pic of the entire dealership The big building in the rear is the parking garage, body shop, Luxe Collection, and Express Service.
I know that area well

Retail (Sears, Target, etc.)
heard they give you like 30% off at this point

obviously works best if you have an employee holding the items for you.

I worked at Nordstrom:
1. Even if you brought it YEARS ago, decades even, we'll most likely return it for you. Heck, you can even get cold hard cash for it.
2. Any clothing item you buy worth more than $25, you can get complimentary hemming on. If the alteration is not complimentary, do it elsewhere. We charge an arm and a leg.
3. Any giftcard you use with a remaining balance of less than $10, we can cash out for you.
4. When all else fails, ask to speak to a manager. We're so concerned with preserving our excellent reputation that we let customers get away with anything.
7. Don't try to steal, because undercover Loss Prevention agents ARE watching you.
8. If we don't have it in our store, make us call around for it. We have to. It's our job

- Don't leave beds or blankets with your pet...it WILL get lost. I was thousands of blankets a day...I have no time to keep track of yours.
- You may think I take extra care of your dead pet...in reality, after we kill it (put it to sleep), I sling it into a black garbage back and throw it into a freezer until the cremation guy comes and picks it up. I've actually broken a couple pets' bones on accident when removing them from the freezer.
- I even slap/punch especially nippy dogs. Yes, I may have punched your precious Chihuahua or Pomeranian.
- There have been times when I've trained a few dogs to do tricks in my spare time on the job. Only for the nice ones, though.
- If your dog is overly aggressive and you leave him/her/it at the hospital and it attacks one of us...you might as well kiss it goodbye. We're killing it.

Old Job - Customer Service for a Cell phone carrier.
-If your phone is jacked, and its been over 30 days, its on the manufactor to replace/repair/etc. We only provided the cell phone service. (atleast thats the rebuddle, for when they say, "but you sold me the phone")
-If you call in and are pissed, I would of gave u one speech. "look I know you are mad, but if you cuss or raise your voice one more time, Ima be a strict CS rep.. (most the time its the customers fault, because they didnt read the contract or was too busy playing with their new phone, instead of listening to the sales person). However, if you just are cool with me, and tell me what happened, I will hook u up.. usually with some goodwill mins, and free service of some sort...
-Yes, I can give more than a $25 credit,but if you are a prick, u wont even get that
- If you call in and want to talk about 300 things, I couldnt care less because I didnt have a talk time quota.
-If you were a douche, and ask to speak with a sup, I will call the sup ahead of time, and tell them what I said and what I told the cust, and the sup/mananger will back me up 100% (this does not apply to all reps, only the ones that know what the heck u are talking about)
-4/10 times if you call in and get a weird answer, its probable wrong. Call back and hope to get a rep that knows wth they are talking about. (the crap I heard from other reps made me laugh on a regular baisis, until I was promote to train the reps, then it made me want to hit ppl over the head with a keyboard)
-When I was working it cost appr .02 for the cell phone providers per each minute of airtime, most the time you were being billed .12/.15 based on ur calling plan, and if it was overage, you were getting abused.
-When you call in for trouble shooting on your phone, dont call in on your cell phone, if you do, we will have you call back and wait on hold another 15 mins, because we wont call u back on a diff phone. sure we can, but we wont... why go thru the trouble? Also if you call in on ur phone, and I am giving you step by step directions so u can "write them down" then the call hangs up right after I tell you to power off ur phone, you are too dumb to even be allowed to own a phone.
New Job-
-Sales is where its at, and thankfully I will be there at the 1st of the year. My Current company actually cares about its customers, however, some CS reps get in the door and give our company a bad name.. those ppl dont last long.
-I was top performer for 2009, and got a paid trip to Boston, and each person I met (the big wigs of the company) seem to be pretty cool...most took the time to sit and chat, and get to know all of us.(Cool story, by the way)
-I dont know much more about the company, since the job I currently do is pretty easy, but I will say, the company I work for seem to really care about ppl, and their employees...
last thing
-The company I work for, allowed Death Benefits to be paid right after 9/11 without a cetified Death cert (as long as one was recv in the few months afterwords) to help with the already terrible ordeal. *this was before I worked there* I dont know all the details, since I dont work in the Death Claims dept, but a rep told me about that when I was new to the company, and I also thing something was done after Hurricane Katrina..

Yeah I love Canon quality. And yeah, eBay sucks.Originally Posted by wawaweewa
Accounting for the total (quality, craftsmanship,features, etc) product Canon is the best in the point and shoot and DSLR world. Sony camcorders are top notch; point and shoot's and DSLR's are 'so so' for their respective prices.
